"Whew!" The whistle sounded, and the steamship officially appeared in front of the world for the first time. 【Reading.com】

The whistle is both a warning to the enemy and a signal to your allies that the battle is about to begin, so that they are ready. The ships behind slowed down in response to the sound and distanced themselves from the ten big ships in front, and the people on board were also talking.

"I didn't expect Wang Jianzhi to have such courage, rush forward with light troops, and go straight to the heart, if we come later, maybe they will succeed."

"It doesn't matter if you succeed, at most you can get a lonely city, the Jiangxi provinces have frequent good news, and the officials everywhere are all righteous people, and now King Ning is in a dilemma, and he is about to be defeated."

"It's hard to say, there are still nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses, if they really take Nanjing City, the situation is unpredictable."

"What is a rabble of 100,000? There are gunboats built by Hou Ye, and in the end they are only wiped out, at the beginning of the Lushun War, the coalition army led no less than tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, what was the result? Ha ha. ”

For the Jiangnan scholars, the Battle of Lushun was originally an eternal pain in their hearts, but time has passed, although it has only been a few months, but it is also a very distant thing, and now everyone is really working for the emperor, who still remembers those old yellow calendars?

"But it was a naval battle, and now it is on a large river, and unlike the breadth of the sea, the gunboats are too large, and there is a risk that they will not be able to turn around. What's more, most of the sailors under the command of King Ning are water thieves in the south of the Yangtze River, and they are more familiar with river water battles, will it be ......?"

At first, it was still about the situation in Jiangnan, but the topic quickly shifted to the current battle situation.

"Brother Ning is worried, although there is a military order from Lord Wang in advance, but we should also be prepared, in case the battle situation is unfavorable, then we should quickly step forward to help."

"Support? Why do you need any help, Brother Li, I think you want to grab the merits of the war and get the contribution, right? Ha ha. Li Yuanwai's mind was broken, causing a burst of laughter. Everyone didn't have any malice, but they were very satisfied with the current situation and looked forward to the future situation, so they just vented a little.

"Hey, what's so funny about that, don't you want to?" Li Yuanwai was a little embarrassed and sneered.

"Yes, of course I do, but I'm not in a hurry, the big head is still behind. Here is just a Wang Jianzhi, in the follow-up army, there are also King Ning and 100,000 troops, the contribution to the capture of King Ning is five hundred, and Lu Quanqing is three hundred......" Someone counted with his fingers.

"It's strange to say, Wang Mingzhong and Lu Quanqing's reputations are different, the former mostly goes back and forth in Jiangnan, Yu Ning Wang, and Jiangnan have contributed a lot, why does Hou Ye value the latter more? The bounty on the two of them is actually half of the difference. Everyone listened attentively, but some people asked questions.

"You may not know that when Hou Ye returned to Beijing, he encountered a ringing horse, and this cadre was originally instigated by Lu Wan to plunder Tianjin! If it weren't for Hou Ye's clever calculations and arrangements in advance, I'm afraid that Gyeonggi would also be in chaos for a while, think about it, how can this person's sin be small? ”

"I see, it's better this way, I have an extra hundred contributions out of thin air, just waiting to see who the flowers are."

When a big war comes, you can still maintain your composure, which is generally only possible for elite veterans or veterans. Behind the steamer were the fleets of the various families in the south of the Yangtze River, far from the elite, and these people could talk and laugh freely, only with the confidence of victory. Faith alone can't make their morale so high, and the most motivating thing is the wonderful contribution system.

Everyone didn't know the guild system of online games in later generations, nor did they know the credit rating system of financial institutions in later generations, but the new system that came from Xie Hong and was improved by Wang Shouren allowed them to see unlimited opportunities in a counterinsurgency operation.

In fact, this is the same as the online game to fight monsters and upgrade, the whole plan is broken down into countless parts, each goal, each task is marked with corresponding rewards. As long as you complete the task, you will have experience points, as long as you defeat the boss, you will drop the bag, and the contribution acquisition mode really inspires everyone.

Inspired by this, the latent forces of the Jiangnan family broke out at once, and they could not directly mobilize the prefect and officials above the prefect, but they could mobilize others to influence the other party.

In this era, the latent force is very scary, because the relationship between the Chinese people is very complicated, relatives and friends, classmates, teachers and friends, and old colleagues are all very close relationships.

There are thousands of families who participated in the Ningbo Conference and followed Xie Hong, and these people can directly mobilize the manpower that is multiplied with this, although not all of them are in Jiangnan and directly counterpart, but there are always a few percent that just correspond.

Then, these direct activations also affect other people, and the people who are affected by them often join in. So, against King Ning, the Jiangnan people opened a fine net and directly shrouded it, making him unable to struggle.

For Zhang Wenjin's kind of suspicious, the advice of staff and subordinate officials often has a great effect, just like the secretaries of later generations can influence the leaders, as long as the reason is explained thoroughly and the way is appropriate, the leaders are very willing to accept opinions.

For those who wait and see, it is even simpler, these people are relatively timid, as long as the wind blows enough in their ears, they will naturally be afraid and hesitate to move forward.

Those who are hard-hearted are easy to do, and the likes of officials can't influence this kind of people, but they can make small moves, stumble, or something. This trick has also been used on Xie Hong, this time, it is their turn to enjoy it, and at present, He Jian is deeply touched.

He had already saved his mind to go out, went to the city, and before Wang Jianzhi landed, he ordered the door to be opened, but the order was passed down for a long time, but the city gate was not opened for a long time.

It's not that his henchmen have other thoughts and want to see the wind and rudder, but the junior officers below are all blaming each other, some say that the winch is rusty, some say that they are weak, and in the end, even the reason for the door lock is broken has come out.

He Jian was so angry that he had the intention of killing, but he could only cry out in vain. It is easy to kill people by military law, but now is an extraordinary time, if he really orders to kill, I am afraid that these soldiers under him will also disperse in a hurry, and in the end he can only be appeased with good words, and the grievances in his heart are not to mention.

When he finally sorted out the matter of opening the door, the Jiangnan people's fleet arrived, and then the two sides put on a posture to start fighting. He Jian couldn't open the door here, and suddenly became irrelevant, looking at Da Jiangdong, he was anxious and worried, and he was even more anxious than waiting for the trial list back then.

Compared with He Jian, Wang Jianzhi is happier. He only knows strategy, but has not experienced actual combat, although he had the experience of quelling the He Huai Rebellion in Yundi, but at that time he was sitting firmly in the county town of the Chinese military tent, but there were other people who led the troops to fight, and they didn't understand land warfare, let alone water warfare.

He just listened to the three water bandits around him about the direction of the wind and the flow of the water, and what he said was the way, so he listened to the opinions of a few people and killed him downstream. He didn't have any idea of what the odds were, and as the distance between the two sides approached, he just had a rough idea of the enemy.

First of all, the enemy ship is very large, very large, and if it were in a canal or something, I am afraid that the ship would run aground directly. Moreover, the enemy seemed to be very confident, and there were still many ships in the rear, but they all avoided it from a distance, leaning against the river, as if they were about to land ashore.

"I'm afraid the enemy didn't expect to bump into us, the back of the ships have a very deep draft, presumably are transporting troops, transporting baggage, depending on the size of the fleet, I'm afraid there will be no one or two thousand soldiers and horses, so many soldiers, it is likely to rescue Anqing...... "There is a specialization in the art industry, and the water bandits may not be able to do anything else, but they all have the ability to judge the load of the ship from the appearance of the ship."

Several of the bandits deliberated and decided that the current battle was an encounter. The original purpose of the enemy ship was Anqing, but when it arrived in Yingtian, it was found that its own naval army, Yingtian had to be rescued in a crisis, so he had to come up hard, the main purpose was not to fight a water war, but to enter the city to rescue. The ten large smoking ships were broken to buy time for the troop carriers behind them to come ashore.

"It makes sense, then there are generals of Lao, as long as the enemy is defeated, those villains in Nanjing who fall with the wind are bound to be frightened, and they just take the opportunity to seize the city. After the matter is completed, the official will definitely ask for credit for several people in front of the prince. ”

Wang Jianzhi was rarely polite, he was a person who knew how to be flexible, and at this moment in his heart, he had a greater resentment towards those who looked at the scenery in the city, but he looked at these water bandits a lot more pleasantly.

"Then there is Lord Lao, kill!" It is the overlord on the Taihu Lake, and it is also famous on the river, and the new commander-in-chief of the water division is full of spirits, and the water division under his command rushes up.

said that he was a command, but his level was far worse than that of Liang Chengke, the rebel sailors did not have any formation, but they were densely spread all over the river, which looked like it was violent, but in fact it was very scattered.

However, the robbership of the water bandits is all about momentum, formation or something, is it necessary? This is the first time that the Taihu Overlord has commanded so many soldiers and horses, and it is indeed too difficult for him to command the battle with a clear eye.

"Turned the ship sideways? After breaking it like this, it's too heroic, right? Is the commander also a civilian layman, so the ignorant are fearless? The next moment, the enemy's movements made him puzzled, and he secretly glanced at Wang Jian, and he and the two lieutenants muttered quietly.

"Truly the ignorant are fearless." What he didn't know was that his actions fell in the eyes of the commander of the enemy ship, but it also caused a lot of emotion.

"Most of these people are bandits who have accumulated years of gangsters, and they have been stained with the blood of countless innocents in Jiujiang, Admiral Lu, you just have to let go of the battle, you don't have to worry about killing or wounding, or after the enemy is dispersed, you will scatter into the countryside to do evil, and you must completely annihilate the enemy army." Although Wang Shouren does not have a lupine scarf, his bearing is calm, and his demeanor is not below Zhou Gongjin at all.

"Yes, pass my command, fire three rounds of volleys, and then break into the enemy line, kill and wound the enemy with scattered bullets, and fire!" Lu Xiaosi didn't intend to show mercy to his subordinates, so he immediately ordered the cannon to be fired.

The next moment, the scene of the naval battle of Lushun reappeared, the cannon door opened, revealing the muzzle of the black hole, but the Ning Wang Naval Division did not have the momentum of the original coalition army, and they immediately fell into a panic.
